聖人と人魚 -A saint and mermaid
周潤發の「孔子」。マレーシアで買ったDVD なので日本語字幕がありません。この映画は魯国で官位を得た後の孔子の生涯を描いていますが、聖人孔子は、普通に悩み、欲もあり、失敗もする、我々と変わらない素の人間だったようです。史記や左氏伝を知っていれば映画の大筋は理解できるのですが、三桓氏とか夾谷の会とか、孔子を悩ます魯国の微妙な事情が背景として出てきます。孔祥林著の「真説・人間孔子」という本を読むとこの辺の事情が理解できます。
“Confucius” of Chow Yun-Fat. Because it is the DVD which I bought in Malaysia, there are no Japanese subtitles. This movie described the life of Confucius after having got office and rank in Lu, but saint Confucius seemed to be the normal human being who did not change with us who there were a trouble, a desire commonly, and failed. I can understand the summary of the movie if I know Shih-chi and Zuo Zhuan, but circumstances of Lu troubling Confucius such as Three Huan and the meeting of Chiagu are complicated. I can understand circumstances in “The real story of Confucius as a human”.
それでも理解できない、いわゆる「聖人の教え」もあり、私にはなかなか難解な部分が多くありました。製作には中国政府が絡んでいるようですのでまあいろいろと理屈はありそうです。論語を読んで勉強することにします。山東青島付近は以前は仕事でよく訪れた地域なのですが、孔廟がある曲阜へは行ったことがありません。青島の西には山が連なり、当時は「あの先が済南だな」くらいにしか思わず、泰山や曲阜のことは思いもしませんでした。足を運んでおくべきだったと今更ながら後悔しています。
There was “the teaching of the saint” that I could not understand in the movie. Because the Chinese government seems to be concerned with the production of the movie, the part that it is difficult in various ways is possible. I decide to read the Analects of Confucius, and to study. The neighborhood of Shangdong Qingdao is the area that I visited by work well before, but has not been to Qufu with the Temple of Confucius. The point of the west mountains of Qingdao thought that there was Jinan in those days. I did not think of there being huge mountain and Qufu. At that time, I regret that I should have gone to visit it.
大男だった孔子、周潤發には適役ではないでしょうか。私は昔のノワールものよりハマっていると思います。季孫斯はドラマの三国志で曹操役の陳建斌。南子役の周迅は独特の雰囲気と存在感がある女優と思います。ローカルで退廃的なイメージが映像化されている「蘇州河」は私の好きな映画の一つです。
It was Confucius who was a tall man, but thought that I was suitable for Chow Yun-Fat. I think that I am better than the performance of his Noir movie. Li-shi is Chen Jianbin of Caocao in the three kingdam. I think Zhōu Xùn of nán zi to be a unique atmosphere and an actress with the presence. “Suzhou River” of a local, decadent atmosphere is one of my favorite movies.
私にとって中国は、いろいろな意味でミステリアスな存在なのです。どうも私がこの国を理解できるのはまだまだ先のようです、というかやはり到底理解不可能なのかも。
China is mysterious in various meanings for me. It is a point still more that I can understand China. No, can it not be possibly understood?
